Pretty view

Very pretty view , cute place., would recommend. Convenient to grocery store. Instacart delivers there. Convenient to JBLM as well. I had 18 day stay. The only drawbacks. Laundry room locked and was unable to reach #instructed to call. Water pressure low in kitchen. No drawers to put clothes in , you can hang them up but bring some hangers. The lock you put code in is on the actual door and not the other coded locks on wall.

Beautiful lake even in the rain

Unlocking the place was tricky. Quick to respond to my text asking for help. There was a smell. Not bad. Just super noticeable. Clean. Could use a deep clean throughout. Partiers were loud underneath and outside the window Saturday night. Not enough space to leave a thorough review.

Visit to see our daughter

The property is lovely. Being right on the lake is wonderful, we had bonfires and used the canoe, the lake is clean. It's in a quiet neighborhood with close by amenities. The unit, house is old, but we love that old charm and it was clean. Our onsite host Roshon was very nice and answered any questions we had. We will definitely be coming back to visit our daughter and would stay there again!

Check in confusion

Really confusing check in system - with 2 apparent locks, but only one lock being used. I was told someone would be there to check me in and she just wasn't available, despite many messages. So we just were mostly on our own. She did eventually come help us out a bit. Bottom line, be prepared to just kind of figure things out yourself. The listing promises cable and streaming. There was none of that. And not even the basic channels worked. I did point that out to the woman helping us and eventually she brought us a brand new Firestick that we had to set up. Other than that - it was a lovely stay. Really. The water is very accessible and there were plenty of water toys. Very easy access to the Lakewood mall. Lovely.

No air conditioning

I came from Texas where air conditioning is a necessity. So you can imagine how felt when I finally was able to find my room was in town for a wedding. I did not know that most places did not have air conditioning.

Lake Steilacoom VRBO

Beautiful location on a pristine for an exceptionally reasonable price. The only downside is that the access instructions and Wi-Fi instructions were not accurate or current. They described a lock box with keys when it was actually a keyless entry. The Wi-Fi usernames were listed times five but none of them matched. So we just used our data, otherwise I would stay here anytime I’m up here to visit family.

Lakefront getaway

We needed a home base while visiting adult children in the PNW. The location is very accessible to highways. The beauty of this place is hard to describe. The lake and terraces leading away from this classic apartment building are stunning. Wonderful small touches made us feel welcomed. Nice shampoos and towels. A new sponge for doing dishes. A well equipped kitchen. And a comfy futon to lay down on in the evening to watch the playoffs. Thank you for a lovely stay.
